When I turn there is a popping noise that can also be felt in the steering wheel also when I am driving and feel a bump. The fuel will at times show a full tank then all of a sudden go to 1/4 tank it changes all the time and is not accurate, I cannot depend on it because I never really know how much fuel it actually has. The driver seat heater got extremely hot and we will not use because are scared it might burn thru the seat since it already left a small burn mark. The problem with the steering wheel on this particular vehicle also did the same on another chevrolet we had and have researched online and it seems is a big issue with chevrolet vehicles.

I was at a traffic light, waiting for it to change, and all of a sudden the brake went all the way down and all kinds of lights in the truck were flashing indicating trouble. I managed to pull to the curve, put it on park, and noticed that there was fuel coming down from underneath the truck. I called aaa, since I am a member, and they towed the truck to my local mechanic. The mechanic inspected the truck and noticed that both the brake lines and the fuel lines were corroded. I happened to read online about other chevy owners that were having issues with brake and fuel line corrosion on the same model and year chevy tahoe I own.

I can be going down the highway running 65-70 MPH and the reduced engine power light will come on and reduces my speed to 10 MPH! I pull over, disconnect the battery cable and replace it, then I could continue for another week or so. Finally, I left the diagonstic computer in my truck and was able to capture the code p1125. The mechanic said to replace the throttle body. That was done in october. It ran fine for a while, but it started doing it again. The throttle body was replaced again! Now, two months later, it's doing it again! No one can seem to fix the problem. Meanwhile, I am a female who travels the highways everyday going back and forth to work and I have been in several dangerous situations due to this problem that will not stop! As of now, I can not drive my truck and having to rely on carpooling again until it's fixed for the third time in the past 6 months. It also appears that several people are having the same problem with no results. Someone is going to get killed if this is not addressed soon!

Vehicle fuel system quit on hwy at 60 MPH...I was able to get to shoulder of the hwy due to skillful driving. After cooling down the vehicle started was able to drive 20 miles when it quit again. This happened several times. Each time I was able to get off the hwy. Finally I had to get the tahoe towed to be repaired.

I have a 2003 chevy tahoe. I've run out of gas on three occasions because the vehicle gauge on the dash will report the gas tank has 1/4 tank left, the vehicle digital range will report the same thing ,but the car runs out of gas. I have to fill up the vehicle when the gas gauge reads 1/2 full out of fear that the gauge is lower than it actually. Twice I've run out of gas on I-295 in heavy traffic and was forced to negotiate a harrowing maneuver to leave the center lane of the three lane highway to get to the shoulder as the car was not under power.

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the speedometer would intermittently read inaccurate speeds. For instance, when driving 10 MPH, the vehicle would read that the contact was traveling over 50 MPH and vice versa. The contact had previously received notification of a manufacturer's extended warranty offer for vehicles experiencing the failure with less than 70,000 accumulated miles. The contact stated that because his vehicle was over 70,000 miles they would not be liable for the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 120,000.

No accident yet. Smelled gas so I looked under 2003 tahoe for leaks and noticed filler neck plus fuel lines along with brake lines with extreme rust. I understand rust forms on all metals. But this is something you should find on twenty year or older vehicles. I am a licensed apr. And run a quality shop and have work on vehicles for a living for over thirty years and only see this on substandard or low grade materials. So why do these lines have this problem? This is a safety issue that really should be addressed. I've seen other manufacturers recall much less problems why not this. If you price out these pieces for replacement you or your costumer better be sitting down. Parts are normally in stock. We all know they only stock what's sells regularly. Please again this is safety problem chevy should own up to.

In nov of 2008 we started having problems with the speedometer. Took it to our dealer and they replaced the ipc and it did not fix the problem, after we got the tahoe back we started having problems with the cruise control as well. The speedometer becomes jerky and if we use the cruise the tahoe speeds up and we have to turn cruise off to stop it from speeding out of control. Also when the speedometer becomes jerky the service brake system alarm goes off after it makes it hard to stop. (we have almost rear ended someone several times.)recently 12-2009 our service engine light is on. We have taken the tahoe to our dealer and replaced several parts and nothing seems to make these problems go away. Please help as we have three kids and one on the way. The parts we have replaced are as follows: the front brake sensor and hub, the instrument panel cluster, ebc electronic brake control module and the fuel filter. Which is everything recommended by our dealer. I just want it fixed!!!!
